Nostalgia:  The  New  Kick 


You’ve  come  a long  way.  Baby. 


There  will  always  be  a past  to  review. 

We  are  especially  aware  of  our  past  this  year  at  FHS.  Our 
nation  is  celebrating  its  200th  anniversary  as  a nation,  and  our 
city  is  celebrating  its  centennial. 

Although  we  are  looking  back  on  our  200th  birthday,  many 
of  us  are  celebrating  our  Sweet  Sixteenth,  complete  with 
wearing  penny  loafers  and  rolled  up  jeans.  The  fifties  have 
made  quite  an  impact  on  us  as  we  mimic  the  Fonz  from 
“Happy  Days.” 


Graffiti  Day,  1975.  Do  you  remember  when 
miniskirts  were  the  order  of  the  day? 


Many  of  us  think  our  styles  are  us,  but,  in  reality,  long 
dresses,  faded  blue  jeans,  and  even  platform  shoes  have  been 
hailed  by  our  mothers  and  fathers,  or  even  our  grandparents  as 
“their”  fashions.  Of  course,  our  generation  adapted  these 
styles,  and,  we  like  to  think,  chose  only  the  best  character- 
istics. Its  a wheel  within  a wheel.  The  whole  thing  goes  in 
cycles. 

A thirst  for  the  good  old  days  has  even  hit  our  politicians 
as  they  yell  for  the  days  of  honor  and  integrity  before  Water- 
gate. Many  of  our  students  are  singing  M-I-C-K-E-Y  M-O-U-S-E, 
because  of  reruns  of  Walt  Disney’s  famous  club. 

Could  all  this  be  a desire  to  return  to  a simpler,  more 
idealistic  time,  as  a reaction  against  the  pressures  of  keeping  up 
with  today? 


A little  old-fashioned  cheese-cake,  eh, 
Elizabeth? 


Where  is  your  phone  booth,  Stanley?  Superman 
NEVER  changes  in  public.

Fuzzy  Wuzzy  wuz  a bear  . . . 


Many  nursery  rhymes  originally  had  political  references. 
Mistress  Mary,  Quite  Contrary  was  Mary,  Queen  of  Scots. 
Today,  they  help  us  remember  the  fun  times  of  childhood,  and 
inject  a sense  of  humor  on  an  otherwise  dreary  day. 


Mrs.  Beaton  puts  butter  in  the  beater  to  make  the  bitter  batter

gowns.

Heavy,  heavy  hangs  over  your  head.

Teachers  and  students  mark  the  days  in 
similar  fashion  each  year.  There  are  the  usual 
stencils  for  teachers  to  type,  the  thoughts  of 
homework  staring  us  in  the  face,  the  last  pep 
rally  during  which  senior  football  players  receive 
special  recognition,  the  games  strategy  which 
should  have  worked,  the  tensions  of  a tight- 
scoring  game.

“ . . . That  the  future  might  learn  from  the  past.”  The  motto  of  Colonial 
Williamsburg  might  be  applied  in  various  ways  to  our  yen  for  nostalgic  things. 

We  learn  how  to  conduct  ourselves  socially  by  attending  such  varied  events  as 
basketball  games  and  the  Junior-Senior  Prom,  both  long-standing  traditions  at 
FHS.  Our  growth  is  based  on  past  knowledge  as  we  develop  our  talents  in  home 
economics,  our  brains  in  academic  classes,  or  our  physical  prowess  at  play. 

Each  of  us  measures  up  to  a pre-established  yardstick  whose  segments  help  us 
make  the  right  decisions.

Each  year  we  have  teachers  whom  we  remember  fondly  long 
after  the  course  is  finished  — teachers  who  leave  a large  mark  on  the 
paper  of  our  lives. 

Because  of  his  ability  to  be  a friend  as  well  as  a teacher; 

Because  of  his  personal  involvement  in  the  affairs  of  Franklin 
High  School; 

Because  of  his  efforts  to  build  bridges  of  understanding  between 
and  the  world; 

Because  of  the  time  and  energy  which  he  devotes  to  sparking 
enthusiasm  and  interest  in  his  classes; 

Because  of  his  attempts  to  further  awareness  of  the  Spanish 
language; 

We,  the  1976  Yearbook  Staff,  proudly  dedicate  the  LOG  to 


JOHN  A.  BLAINE 


Administration 


Franklin’s  Administration  underwent  a few  changes  this 
year.  Mr.  Bowling,  our  new  principal,  made  several  rule 
revisions,  among  them  a new  examination  schedule.  Sound 
fiscal  planning  was  stressed,  as  well  as  closer  adherence  to 
existing  rules.

Mrs.  Elaine  Davis 


Our  guidance  department,  staffed  by  Mrs.  Holoman  and  Mr.  Parker,  is  very  helpful  to  all  the  students  at  FHS.  Some  of  their 
functions  are  guiding  students  in  preparations  for  life  after  high  school  and  averaging  class  ranks.  They  are  always  more  than  willing 
to  discuss  and  help  a student  with  any  of  the  problems  he  or  she  might  encounter. 

Mrs.  Davis  and  Mr.  Bogenschneider,  who  compose  the  library  staff,  are  constantly  ordering  new  materials  which  better  our 
library.  They  are  always  on  hand  to  find  books  or  help  a student  look  up  something  he  is  having  trouble  with.

Custodial  and  Cafeteria  Staffs 


The  custodians  are  often  taken  for  granted,  but  they  are 
essential  behind-the-scenes  personnel.  They  help  regulate  the 
school’s  climate  through  adjustment  of  air  conditioning  and 
heating.  They  do  extra  things  like  hanging  maps  or  Hags  on  the 
wall.  And  they  keep  the  school  shining. 

The  cooks  try  to  provide  nutritious  well-balanced  meals  at 
lunchtime,  and  nourishing  breakfasts  in  the  morning  to  those 
who  don’t  regularly  eat  any  at  home.  This  year  they  have 
served  Bicentennial  lunches  at  appropriate  times,  even  redeco- 
rating the  cafeteria  with  tablecloths  and  centerpieces.  They 
serve  the  football  team  meals  before  their  games  which 
promotes  unity  on  the  team,  for  otherwise,  the  members 
would  be  eating  alone  at  home. 

As  you  can  see,  both  our  custodians  and  cafeteria  staff 
deserve  more  appreciation.

Ms.  Barbara  Radford  “Wake  up,  Ms.  Radford!” 


This  year  could  be  classified  as  an  experimental  one  for  the  English  department. 
During  the  latter  part  of  the  year  every  student  taking  English  chose  a course  to 
take  for  six  weeks.  This  program  allowed  the  student  some  discretion  in  subject 
areas  pursued.  Courses  were  related  to  English  or  Literature  and  were  taken  as 
preparation  for  college.  Some  could  be  taken  just  out  of  interest  in  a specific  topic 
area.  Many  students  are  excited  at  the  prospects  of  a break  in  the  conventional 
ways  of  teaching.

Mathematics 


Mrs.  Kuykendall 


Ms.  Nuernberg 


The  Mathematics  department  at  F.H.S.  offers  a 
number  of  courses,  ranging  from  Math  9G  to  Math 
Analysis.  For  students  who  want  to  continue  their 
math  studies,  there  is  an  opportunity  to  go  to  nearby 
Paul  D.  Camp  Community  College  to  take  Calculus. 
With  our  new  division  of  diplomas,  many  students  are 
getting  a more  diversified  math  curriculum.

The  science  department  at  F.H.S.  is  equipped  with  modern  facilities  and  skillful 
teachers.  The  program  includes  a course  at  P.D.  Camp  for  those  students  who  wish  to 
further  their  studies.  The  program  also  allows  students  to  learn  at  different  curricular 
areas  and  to  learn  to  their  fullest  capacity.  Highlights  include  nature  walks  to  observe  and 
identify  native  trees,  and  the  study  of  the  frog.

Business  & D.E 


Our  business  department  offers  a variety  of 
courses,  such  as  Business  Law,  Shorthand,  Book- 
keeping, Typing,  and  General  Business.  These  courses 
are  basically  for  the  student  who  plans  to  work 
immediately  following  high  school,  but  can  also  be 
useful  to  the  student  who  wants  a basic  knowledge  of 
the  subject  matter. 

The  Distributive  Education  classes  have  gone  on 
numerous  trips  this  year,  including  one  trip  to  P.D. 
Pruden.  Also  this  year,  the  D.E.  department  has 
added  a new  teacher,  Mr.  Horne,  who  has  adjusted  to 
F.H.S.  very  quickly.

Some  of  the  electives  offered  at  F.H.S.,  such  as 
Home  Economics,  Art,  and  Foreign  Languages,  are 
designed  to  help  develop  cultural  and  domestic 
abilities.  French  IV  has  been  added  to  our  Foreign 
Language  curriculum,  which  is  geared  towards  more 
specialized  and  individualized  instruction.  The  Home 
Economics  department  continues  to  appeal  to  the 
girls,  but  more  and  more  boys  are  enrolling  as  they 
see  the  need  for  “Male  liberation. ” The  Art  classes 
have  been  using  their  immediate  environment  to  learn 
the  theory  of  perspective  and  to  emphasize  creativity. 
Hopefully,  the  experiences  in  these  classes  enrich  the 
lives  of  the  students.

This  has  been  an  exciting  year  for  our  Advanced 
Band.  With  formation  of  the  Band  Boosters  Club,  the 
band  has  been  aided  financially  and  was  able  to  get 
new  uniforms.  The  intermediate  band  has  been 
working  very  hard  this  year,  and  has  performed  in  our 
Christmas  assembly.  Mr.  Kidd,  our  new  choral  direc- 
tor, has  organized  various  singing  and  playing  activi- 
ties, in  addition  to  his  regular  classes.  Mr.  Cayne,  our 
industrial  arts  teacher,  has  been  busy  teaching  the 
construction  of  various  useful  articles,  as  well  as 
teaching  mechanical  drawing.  Our  Special  Education 
Department  has  acquired  a new  teacher,  Ms.  Barnes.

The  main  objectives  of  the  P.E.  department  are  to  further  develop  the 
student’s  body  physically  and  to  promote  good  sportsmanship.  Many 
activities  are  taught,  ranging  from  basketball  in  the  winter  to  tennis  in  the 
spring. 

In  the  first  semester  of  the  ninth  grade,  health  is  taught  along  with 
physical  education.  During  the  second  semester,  a useful  course  in  first  aid 
is  taught.  In  the  tenth  grade,  driver’s  education  is  taught  during  the  first 
semester  with  drug  education  following  in  the  second  semester.  With  these 
courses  the  students  gain  knowledge  they  can  apply  in  many  areas.

A yearning  for  the  good  old  days  manifested  itself  through  the  enthusiastic 
support  of  Clash  Day  and  Graffiti  Day.  (Our  parents  called  it  “Tacky  Day”.)  The 
main  idea  was  to  have  fun  and  show  our  school  spirit.  Spirit  in  general  revived. 

After  school  we  enjoyed  such  canned  nostalgia  as  LITTLE  HOUSE  ON  THE 
PRAIRIE  and  THE  WALTONS  on  TV.  GONE  WITH  THE  WIND  and  THE  SOUND 
OF  MUSIC  were  eagerly  anticipated  to  make  their  TV  premiers. 

In  the  movie  houses  we  rushed  to  see  THE  RETURN  OF  THE  PINK 
PANTHER,  THE  WILDERNESS  FAMILY,  BAMBI,  and  SNOW  WHITE.

JUNIORS 


A year  of  excitement  and  anticipation.  We  won  the  award  for 
the  best  hall  decoration  and  the  spirit  stick  prior  to  the  South- 
hampton football  game.  While  our  young  men  were  becoming 
young  ladies,  our  young  ladies  were  learning  to  play  football  to 
prepare  for  the  Powder  Puff  game. 

When  the  day  for  our  class  rings  came,  most  of  the  juniors 
were  here  at  school  early  enough  to  line  up  in  front  of  the 
auditorium  before  8:15.  At  the  end  of  the  day,  few  hands  were 
not  tired. 

Plans  for  the  Junior-Senior  Prom  took  much  time  and  effort. 
Money  making  projects  and  class  dues  were  decided  upon  so  that 
this  year’s  dance  could  be  the  “Best  Ever”.

Tis  A Grand  Old  Class  — 1976 


CLASS  OFFICERS:  Wanda  Griffith,  Secretary;  Joe  Ferki,  President;  Nancy  Harrell,  Treasurer. 

BACK:  Reginia  Haley,  Vice-president. 

“Memories  may  be  beautiful  and  yet,  what  is  too  painful  to 
remember,  we  simply  choose  just  to  forget.”  That  is  what  we, 
the  Senior  Class  of  1976,  feel.  Our  four  great  years  of  being  a 
part  of  FHS  were  memorable  and  unforgettable.  They  have 
been  exciting  years  - the  arrival  of  class  rings,  the  Junior- 
Senior  Prom,  being  accepted  in  college;  disappointing  years  — 
not  beating  SHS  in  football,  not  winning  the  Powderpuff 
Football  Game;  happy  years  - the  hall  decoration  contest  at 

CLASS  FLOWER:  Red  Rose  CLASS  COLORS:  Red,  white,  blue 


last,  receiving  individual  awards  of  various  types  such  as 
making  the  All-Peanut  District  team,  making  Regional  Chorus, 
going  to  Boys’  and  Girls’  State,  being  a member  of  the  State 
Tri-Hi- Y Council;  and  sad  years  losing  the  regional  basket- 
ball title  by  a single  point,  and  our  last  year  at  FHS. 

As  each  one  of  us  leaves  our  high  school  days  we  will 
always  carry  our  memories  of  what  we  were. 


MOTTO:  “Time  is  not  measured  by  the  passing  of  the  years,  but  by  what  one  does, 
what  one  feels,  and  what  one  achieves.”  Jawaharlal  Nehru.

Support  for  our  teams  really  grew.  More  students  and  parents  attended  our  football  and  basketball  games  than  in  the  past 
several  years.  The  team  members  themselves  revived  and  revitalized  their  skills.  We  became  enthusiastic.

Coach  Peggy  Wilkins  cuts  down  the  game  net. 


The  Bronkettes  had  a tremendous  season  this  year.  Though  they  had  to  forfeit  a game,  they  went  on  to  actually  lose 
only  one  game,  and  the  outcome  was  8-2. 

The  girls  practiced  hard.  With  the  strategy  Coach  Wilkins  used  with  her  players,  there  was  hardly  a team  that  could 
conquer  them.  In  the  outcome  of  the  season,  the  Bronckettes  were  runners-up  in  the  district,  champions  of  the  regionals, 
and  semi-finalists  in  the  State. 

This  year’s  team  only  had  two  seniors,  Yvette  Leonard  and  Sheryl  Rawls.  Yvette  Leonard  was  named  to  the  all-district 
team  with  sophomore  Carolyn  Everette. 

Congratulations  to  the  1975  Girl’s  Basketball  team  for  their  season.

The  Broncos  were  “small  in  size,”  but  were  said  to  have  “big  hearts”.  They  went  forth  with  much  energy  and  determination  to 
shut-out  Gloucester,  and  beat  Suffolk,  Windsor,  Central,  and  John  F.  Kennedy  to  make  it  a 5-3-2  season. 

Although  they  had  “big  hearts”,  they  also  had  “heartbreaks”.  When  co-captain  Paul  Hinson  was  injured  in  the  John  Yeates 
game,  the  team  seemed  to  lose  some  of  its  spirit,  but  only  temporarily.  The  Broncos  came  back  the  next  Friday  night  to  hold  the 
Northampton  Yellowjackets  to  a 0-0  tie  at  Homecoming. 

All  District  Honorable  Mentions  for  the  Broncos  this  year  were  Bobby  Edwards,  Wayne  Baines,  Alvin  Lee,  and  Richard  Smith. 
Ronnie  Adams  was  the  only  member  of  the  Broncos  to  make  All-District  first  team  at  split  end.  In  addition,  Ronnie  made 
Honorable  Mention  as  Safety.

J.V.  Football 


The  “mighty”  broncos  in  action. 


Although  the  J.V.’s  didn’t  win  very  many  games  this  year,  they  learned  lots  of  other  things.  Sportsmanship, 
attitude,  and  the  actual  rules  of  the  game  were  among  the  things  learned.  For  Freshmen,  J.V.  football  means  being

Although  the  Broncos  didn’t  have  a fantastic 
season,  they  made  it  to  the  District  Tournaments  by 
practicing  hard  in  the  afternoons  and  playing  energet- 
ically through  all  of  the  games. 

Seniors  on  the  team  were  Paul  Hinson,  Arthur 
Wiggins,  Ronnie  Adams,  and  Andy  Bryant,  who  all 
added  to  the  excitement  and  fun  of  the  1976  Basket- 
ball Season. 

During  the  last  Franklin-Suffolk  game,  Andy 
Bryant  passed  the  1000th  point  mark  in  scoring 
during  his  high  school  career.

J.V.  Cheerleaders  in  Action 


Football  cheerleaders  demonstrate  a “striking”  formation. 


J.V.  CHEERLEADERS 
Cheerleaders  worked  and  practiced 
hard  to  cheer  their  “fellows”  on  to 
victory.  Doing  complicated  stunts  and 
shouting  at  the  top  of  their  lungs 
added  to  the  excitement  of  J.V. 
football  and  basketball.  Winning  or 
losing,  our  J.V.  cheerleaders  kept  up 
the  spirit  throughout  the  entire  school. 


Come  on  crowd!  Help  the  cheerleaders  with  a chant. 


Out  on  the  basketball  court  they  form  a “V”  for  VICTORY! 


J.V.’s  trying  a little  “bumping.” 


Getting  together  for  a beginning  cheer.

Varsity  Cheerleaders 


The  Varsity  Cheerleaders  proved  that  there  really  is  some  hot  spirit  at  F.H.S.  Going  to  camp 
at  Randolph  Macon  Women’s  College  in  Lynchburg  improved  all  of  their  skills,  and  they  even 
won  the  Spirit  stick.  Selling  donuts  and  booster  stickers  helped  the  athletic  fund  with  some 
extra  money.  Pep  rallies  were  really  enjoyed  by  all  students  because  of  the  hard  work  put  into 
them  by  the  Cheerleaders.  Silly  skits  and  making  up  songs  added  to  the  fun  at  all  of  the  Pep 
Rallies.  Football  games  were  a big  challenge  to  the  Cheerleaders,  and  every  Cheerleader  was 
crying  when  the  season  was  finally  over.  “We  will  never  all  be  back  together  again  to  cheer  for 
the  same  boys”,  they  said. 

But  they  still  had  basketball  cheering  to  look  forward  to  and  what  an  exciting  season  that 
proved  to  be. 

Congratulations,  Cheerleaders  for  being  so  spirited!

spirit  throughout  the  school.  Pep  Rallies 
used  the  theme  of  dances  from  the  Black

money  for  new  band  uniforms.  The  prize,  a 1976  Ford  Pinto,  was 
won  by  Reverend  S.S.  Bowman. 

Playing  at  all  home  football  games,  they  also  traveled  to 
Murfreesboro,  N.C.  to  play  at  a Chowan  College  game.  They  took 
3rd  Place  in  the  Franklin  Jaycees  Christmas  Parade.  They  also

Chorus 


The  classroom  chorus  functions  as  a workshop  group.  Several  members  went  to  Newport  News  to 
try  for  the  Regional  Chorus.  Though  they  all  showed  their  talent,  only  one  was  rewarded  for  his 
superior  achievement.  William  Denson  came  back  as  First  Tenor. 

The  afternoon  glee  club  was  formed  as  a separate  group  this  year.  The  members  enjoyed  singing 
but  could  not  fit  a chorus  class  into  their  daily  schedules.  They  met  on  Wednesdays  to  practice  a 
variety  of  musical  pieces.  During  December,  both  clubs  combined  to  put  on  a performance  at  a PTA 
meeting  and  the  school’s  Christmas  assembly.

Members  also  carried  a little  Christmas  joy  to  a local  nursing  home  by  making  decorations  and  singing  carols.  A guest  speaker

money-making  projects.  They  also  sang  Christmas  carols  at  the  assembly  before  Christmas.

The  Spanish  Club  lias  been  one  of  the  more  active  clubs.  Early  in 
the  year  they  decided  that  they  would  like  to  go  to  Puerto  Rico  during 
Spring  Break  and  channelled  much  of  their  energies  toward  realizing 
this  goal.  They  sponsored  a ham  raffle  and  numerous  car  washes  to  raise 
sufficient  money.  A benefit  show  was  also  given,  featuring  mainly  Blue 
Grass  music.  For  the  second  year  the  Spanish  “choir”  gave  their  rendi- 
tion of  a “Spanish”  carol  at  the  Christmas  Assembly. 

Many  of  the  members  were  thrilled  when  they  learned  that  Senor 
Pepe  would  be  returning  to  this  area  with  his  bride  in  late  March  for  a 
short  visit. 


Bluegrass  was  on  the  agenda  at  the  Benefit  show.

DECA 


The  largest  club  this  year  was  also  one  of  the  busiest.  Some  of  DECA’s  activities  included  a State  Convention  in  Norfolk,  a

employers  with  a luncheon.

The  theme  of  this  year’s  Future  Homemakers  of  America  is 
“Moving  On  with  the  Bicentennial.”  As  part  of  its  develop- 
ment, they  participated  in  a federation  Bicentennial  Program- 
Rally  in  November.  They  also  created  favors  for  the  patients  in 
the  East  Pavilion  SMH,  in  February  as  well  as  singing  with 
them.  Affiliated  with  the  state  and  national  FHA,  our  club 
welcomes  as  members  all  students  who  have  taken  one  year  of

a trip  to  the  District  F.B.L.A.  Convention  in  the  spring.

Graffiti  Day  and  Clash  Day  were  sponsored  by  the 
varsity  cheerleaders  to  promote  school  spirit.  Many  of  the 
students  participated  by  wearing  clothes  of  the  fifties.  On 
Clash  Day  styles  of  unmatched  clothing  were  worn.  Not 
only  the  students  but  also  a few  of  the  teachers  showed 
their  spirit  by  dressing  special  for  these  days.

The  1975  Christmas  Concert 
held  in  the  auditorium  consisted 
of  various  forms  of  entertain- 
ment. Among  them  were  the 
Spanish  Club  singing  Christmas 
carols  in  Spanish,  and  the  FHS 
Band  playing  various  types  of 
Christmas  music.  It  was  especial- 
ly memorable  for  the  seniors 
because  it  was  the  first  time  they 
walked  in  as  the  graduating  class.

A Traditional  Rite 


Carol  Gormley,  Maid  of  Honor,  accompanied  by  her  father  enjoyed  watching 
the  majorettes,  dressed  in  ’50’s  style,  as  they  twirled  a routine  to  ROCK 
AROUND  THE  CLOCK. 

To  have  or  not  to  have  a Homecoming  Dance  that  was  the  question.  Due  to 
numerous  problems,  such  as  where  to  have  the  dance,  what  the  mode  of  dress 
would  be,  what  the  hours  should  be,  and  where  to  get  the  money,  we  almost  didn’t 
have  it.  However  the  SCA  successfully  tackled  each  problem.  Representatives 
approached  the  Faculty  and  requested  that  dress  be  casual  with  certain 
guidelines  set  by  the  SCA.  They  also  asked  that  the  dance  be  given  from  9 pm  to 
1 am.  The  faculty  concurred.  A tumblers  sale  was  sponsored  throughout  the 
student  body  to  raise  money  for  the  band. 

Over  300  students  enjoyed  dancing  to  the  “top  40”  tunes  as  played  by  the 
Crystals  in  the  spooky  decor  of  the  school  cafeteria. 


Lorraine  Best  and  Joanne  White  appreciated  the 
routine  presented  by  the  Flag  Team  for  the 
Court’s  entertainment.

Band  Uniform  Finally  Arrives 


The  Franklin  High  School  Band  has  needed  new  uniforms 
for  a long  while.  They  started  fund  raising  projects  last  year  in 
order  to  complete  their  goal  this  fall.  Among  these  projects 
were:  selling  candy,  light  bulbs,  and  many  other  articles;  a 
raffle  for  a 1976  Pinto  car  which  the  Reverend  S.  D.  Bowman 
won;  also,  many  donations  were  given  in  order  to  help  the 
band  reach  their  goal.

Navy  Band  Concert 


Paul  D.  Camp  Community  College  was 
responsible  for  the  Navy  Band  being  able  to 
come  back  to  FHS,  February  3rd.  They 
performed  for  the  entire  student  body  in  the 
afternoon  and  for  the  general  public  that 
night.  Their  music  ranged  from  ’30’s  music 
to  present  day  rock.  Both  concerts  were 
enjoyed  by  everyone.

Mrs.  Richardson  and  her  staff  arranged  to 
have  a Bicentennial  Lunch  Day  on  Friday, 
January  16,  1976.  Preparations  for  this  special 
day  included  a Bicentennial  lunch,  colonial 
costumes  were  worn  by  the  cafeteria  staff,  and 
red  and  white  checked  tablecloths  on  the 
tables.  Advance  publicity  had  everyone  won- 
dering just  what  a Bicentennial  lunch  was. 
Translated,  the  menu  was  milk,  sweet  potatoes 
or  mashed  potatoes,  fried  chicken,  peas,  and 
rolls. 


Bruce  Puffer,  Doug  Edwards,  and  Bob  Fraik  preferred  to  brown-bag  their  lunch  (They  DID 
enjoy  the  tablecloths!)

A District  Forensics  meet  was  hosted  by  us  February  12th. 
The  categories  in  which  the  students  participated  were  public 
speaking,  extemporaneous  speaking,  poetry  reading,  prose 
reading,  and  spelling.  All  categories  except  for  spelling  were 
divided  into  two  sections  — one  for  boys  and  one  for  girls. 


The  appetizers  were  great;  now,  let’s  get  down  to  business.

P.  D.  Pruden  Technical  and  Vocational  School  is  the 
culmination  of  several  years’  dreams  and  plans.  It  is  the  special 
project  of  Francis  Clark,  former  Franklin  City  School  Board 
Chairman.  It  was  built  to  better  prepare  students  who  wish  to 
enter  the  world  of  business  after  high  school. 

Students  from  Isle  of  Wight  and  the  cities  of  Franklin  and 
Suffolk  go  half  a day  to  their  individual  schools,  and  the  rest 
of  the  day  is  spent  at  P.D.  Pruden.  Transportation  by  buses  is 
provided  for  the  students  to  and  from  their  base  schools. 

P.D.  Pruden  is  located  on  highway  460  near  Windsor,  on 
property  donated  by  Mr.  Pruden.  It  is  approximately  twenty 
miles  from  Franklin. 

Some  of  the  courses  offered  include  Data  Processing,  Auto 
Mechanics,  Cosmetology,  Air  Conditioning  and  Refrigeration.

Alumni  Day  was  held  on  December  18,  1975,  to  enable 
former  FHS  students  to  talk  with  each  other  and  their  teach- 
ers. It  was  instituted  in  hopes  of  it  becoming  an  annual  event, 
by  Mr.  Bowling  and  the  faculty.  It  is  a means  of  allowing 
teachers  to  keep  in  contact  with  their  students  and  what  they 
are  doing  now.  It  is  also  a community  relations  device  allowing 
students  to  see  how  things  have  changed  since  they  went  to 
high  school. 


Mr.  Richter,  Mr.  Cayne,  Mr.  Carter  and  Mr.  Sandidge  seem  to  be 
thoroughly  enjoying  themselves.

Main  Street . . . the  more  it  changes,  the  more  it  remains  the  same. 


Which  float  do  we  follow,  Mr.  B.? 


The  face  of  our  town  is  changing.  Many  new  businesses  choose  to  move 
to  the  suburbs,  or  to  shopping  centers,  as  do  some  of  the  old  established 
firms.  Taking  the  business  to  the  people  has  stimulated  a whole  new  line  of 
sales.  However,  the  downtown  area  of  yesteryear  can  still  remain  viable. 
Commerce,  at  least  in  the  smaller  towns,  can  and  does  still  flourish  on 
Main  Street,  U.S.A.,  as  long  as  there  are  activities  to  bring  the  buyer  down. 


The  compass  says  Main  Street  is  due  north.
